Why Beauties Make You Stupid

You act like a goof with the Hooters waitress, leaving a tip that
doubles the bar bill. But why? Beautiful women cause a man's limbic
system (the amygdala and other brain-stem structures, which are in
charge of emotion) to fire up at the same time that his PFC checks out,
leaving the judgment area vacant. Las Vegas casinos hire beautiful
cocktail waitresses, dress them in low-cut tops and miniskirts, and
have them pass out free alcohol—all of which encourages men's
self-control to take the day trip to Hoover Dam. No wonder the house
has the edge.
